The Seine at Vetheuil 1881

Claude Monet's "The Seine at Vetheuil" (1881) is a stunning example of Impressionism, capturing the light and atmosphere of the French countryside. The painting features a panoramic view of the Seine River, with rolling hills in the background, lush greenery in the foreground, and boats dotting the water's surface. Monet's brushstrokes are loose and visible, creating a sense of movement and vibrancy, typical of the Impressionist style. The play of light and shadow, particularly the interplay of sunlight on the water and foliage, creates a sense of depth and a luminous quality. This painting showcases Monet's mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of light and nature's beauty.
